I was told this wasnt actually good for uros because of bell peppers, papaya and mango (trace amounts though). Do yall use this?

Still working on getting more enrichment and a dig box but he seemed to have a really good time. The red square is a heating pad.

I love these little lizards so much, I swear my whole life revolves around them. I want to see more cuteness in the replies!

I'm the one who posted "I have no idea what I'm doing" a few days ago because I bought a juvenile female a few months ago in May. You all were extremely helpful so thank you. So I'll take advice. How big of a tank is this absolute monster going to need? She's in a 40 gallon tank right now and shedding. I'm hearing 120 gallons but I'll listen to the room for other opinions. I understand her environmental and dietary needs. It was more figuring out if I absolutely HAD TO upgrade the tank. Also, Godzilla says hello

Also last question. Is having another companion make or break or is she okay to live life solo judging me with reptilian contempt?

saw this lighter spot on my boys tail, not sure if it’s stuck shed or the beginning of tail rot

Unfortunately the pics don't do him justice, he is so orange in the sunlight 🦎😎🌞🦕🏜

My uromastyx has had this white section for a while on her tail. I thought it would shed off but it hasn't and I'm concerned. Not sure what I can do about it. Please any advice will be appreciated!

Long story short, we got a juvenile female in early May for my stepdaughter. She moved out. I am now responsible for "Godzilla" as I like to call her. It's a 40 gallon set up with another hide beneath the basking rock you see her on. Sometimes like tonight, she is nothing short of rambunctious. I went to check on her and she is having reptile zoomies in her tank climbing all over everything. The wall climbing is constant on an average day. But it's not due to heat. The climate might be the one thing I have right. But in the two times I've taken her out, it looked like she was trying to run away from me at all costs and climb everything at all costs. I rearrange her tank constantly to give her something new so to speak. Note: she is shedding and probably 9 to 12 inches long.

I need advice. Does this girl need a bigger tank? Do I need more stuff in it? Is this normal behavior? Do they need a partner? She is digging halfway to China as I type this and I just want to be sure she isn't going stir crazy.

I just got this little folk like 4 days ago he seems pretty normal and chill except for his feet, one of his toes was black and broken which fell off and I’ve been cleaning and it doesn’t seem to be getting worse it seems fine. But his toes are very flimsy and his feet idk if I should be worried about this or not bc he or she idek is just a baby

Handsome Terry looking for some ladies during our short walk around the neighborhood.

I’ve had Colo for a year now and I’ve seen him shed his head, neck, legs but not his back and belly or his tail.

The humidity in the enclosure is 30% around his borrow.

I’m worried that he is having issues shedding and I’m too scared of scale/tail rot to give him a bath. I also think the issue with his tail shedding is that the clay substrate is making things sticky but it’s impossible to try and brush the substrate off his tail without pissing him off.

Any advice?

I finally got Spikes new tank and put it together. I hung the heat lamp and his uvb light bar. My ambient temp is about 80 on the cool side. I just went and purchased a light for his basking side. Since we just moved I have to find my temperature gun to see where we stand on his heat levels. I only have one digital thermometer probe.
